Gathering Hymn

Oh, we give thanks for this precious day,

For all gathered here and those far away;

For this time we share with love and care,

Oh, we give thanks for this precious day.

Covenant

Love is the doctrine of this church.     

The quest of truth is its sacrament,

And service is its prayer.

To dwell together in peace;

To seek knowledge in freedom;

To serve humankind in fellowship;

Thus do we covenant with each other.

Hymn of Praise

From all that dwell below the skies

Let songs of hope and faith arise

Let peace, good will on earth be sung

Through every land, by every tongue.                ~ based on Isaac Watts

Offering for the Westside Food Bank

Go now in peace, go now in peace,
